- network 204 may provide activity data only for certain, predetermined wireless devices, such as wireless devices for users with accounts stored in memory 221 .
- the wireless device activity data may indicate that a particular wireless device is being used for a voice call, a data call, a text message or other communication.
- server 214 may search memory 221 to identify any user accounts associated with the wireless devices that are in use. If a user account is identified, then server 214 identifies a monitoring system, such as device 201 , associated with that user account. Server 214 then determines if any vehicles ( 201 ) associated with device 202 are moving. Monitoring system 201 may be configured to notify server 214 when vehicle 202 is moving, such as by sending a message when the vehicle first moves and additional message at regular or irregular intervals. Such messages may include data such as a vehicle location, vehicle operating status and/or any alarm conditions or triggers. Alternatively, server 214 may query monitoring system 201 to determine if vehicle 202 is moving. Communication between monitoring system 201 and server 214 may be via cellular network 204 , data network 207 and/or communication satellite network 208 depending upon availability of each network, the urgency of the message, and/or user configuration.
- server 214 may determine that the driver is using a wireless device while driving. Server 214 may then take action to record, report and/or mentor this behavior. For example, a user may configure server 214 to take certain action upon detecting that a wireless device 212 is being used during operation of vehicle 201 . Server 214 may command monitoring system 201 to broadcast warnings, such as audible messages or tones or visual lights or text, to the driver of vehicle 202 . Additionally, server 214 may report the wireless device use to the driver's parent, supervisor, fleet manager or other authority. In other embodiments, server 214 may be configured to command cellular network 204 to terminate calls to device 212 or to block all non-emergency use of wireless device 212 .
- cellular network 204 may detect a voice or text communication from or to wireless device 212 .
- Network 204 provides an activity message to server 214 .
- the wireless activity message may provide a wireless device identifier, such as a telephone number, ESN, MEID, IMEI, TMSI, or IMSI.
- the wireless device activity message may also identify a start time and/or end time for the wireless device activity or an indication that the wireless device is currently active.
- Server uses the wireless device identifier to find a user account for wireless device 212 stored in memory 221 . From the user account, server 214 may identify a vehicle monitoring system, such as device 201 installed in vehicle 202 , that is associated with wireless device 212 .
- Server 214 determines if vehicle 202 is moving using recent reports from device 201 or by querying device 201 for a status report. If vehicle 202 has been moving during the wireless activity, then server 214 identifies a potentially unsafe driving event. This event may trigger any number of actions preselected by the user and/or default actions in server 214 .
- server 214 may send warning feedback to vehicle 202 upon detection of a potentially unsafe driving condition, such as using a cell phone to talk or text while driving. Such messages may warn against using a wireless device while driving and/or direct the driver to discontinue use of the wireless device while driving.
- Server 214 may also be configured to command cellular network 204 to terminate any current communications connection for wireless device 212 and/or to prevent communications connections to device 212 for a period of time or until further notification.
- Server 214 may also provide a report or notification to a supervisor or authority of the potentially unsafe driving conditions, such as by calling a fleet manager or parent via telephone 219 or by sending an email or text message to the supervisor.
- server 214 may first detect when vehicle 202 is moving and then determine if an associated wireless device 212 is in use. For example, upon receiving a notification from device 201 that vehicle 202 is moving, server 214 searches the user account associated with vehicle 202 to identify corresponding wireless devices. Upon identifying a wireless device 212 , server 214 may query, command or request usage activity reports from network 204 . For example, server 214 may query network 204 one or more times regarding the current status of device 212 , or server 214 may command or request network 204 to identify any future wireless activity for device 212 , either for a set period of time or for indefinitely. Upon receiving a notification of wireless communications using device 212 while vehicle 202 is moving, server 214 may take further action, as described above, to warn or mentor the driver, notify a supervisor, or otherwise document the event.
- a user account may include identifiers for one or more wireless devices, and identifiers for one or more vehicles (or for monitoring equipment 201 in vehicles). Accordingly, when server 214 receives notification that a particular wireless device is in use, two or more vehicles may be associated with that wireless device. If one of the vehicles is moving and one is not moving, server 214 may require additional information to determine if the wireless device is in the moving vehicle. For example, information that indicates the proximity of a wireless device ( 212 ) to a particular vehicle ( 202 ) may assist server 214 to determine if the wireless device is being used in a moving vehicle.
- wireless device 212 is equipped with an RFID tag or other RFID transponder or device.
- the user account data may include RFID tag or transponder information for the users' wireless devices.
- Monitoring system 201 may include an RFID sensor or transceiver, such as RFID system 120 ( FIG. 1 ), that allows device 201 to interrogate RFID tags or transponders within or near vehicle 202 .
- Monitoring system 201 may periodically, at regular or irregular intervals, query, detect or scan for RFID tags or transponders. For example, when vehicle 202 is started, when vehicle 202 is moved, or at other intervals, monitor 201 may search of RFID tags. If any RFID tags are detected by monitor 201 , the identifier for those tags may be used to determine if the RFID tags are associated with a wireless device.
- the RFID tag identifier may be sent to server 214 by monitor 201 .
- Server 214 may then process user account data to determine if the RFID tag is linked to a wireless device that is associated with vehicle 202 . If the RFID tag identifier is linked to wireless device 212 , then server 214 may determine that the user's own phone is present in the vehicle. If the RFID tag identifier is unknown or associated with another users' wireless device, and the RFID tag for wireless device 212 is not reported by monitor 201 , then server 214 will know that the user's wireless device is not present in the vehicle. Accordingly, when wireless device 212 is in use and vehicle 202 is in motion, server 214 may not identify a potentially unsafe situation if wireless device 212 has not been currently linked to vehicle 202 using RFID detection.
- server 214 may identify a potentially unsafe condition if wireless device 212 is then used. Accordingly, RFID may be used to reduce or eliminate false detections of unsafe driving behavior.
- wireless device 212 may be equipped with a Bluetooth transceiver, which would allow wireless device 212 to communicate via Bluetooth with monitoring device 201 , if device 201 is also Bluetooth equipped, such as with circuit 117 ( FIG. 1 ).
- Wireless device 212 and monitoring system 201 may communicate with each other via a Bluetooth connection. Because Bluetooth has a limited distance capability, it can be assumed that wireless device is in or near vehicle 202 if a Bluetooth connection is established between wireless device 212 and monitoring system 201 . It will be understood that the transmit power, receive sensitivity and other transmission characteristics of Bluetooth circuit 117 and wireless device 212 may be adjusted to limit the range Bluetooth communications associated with monitoring system 201 .
- the range of the Bluetooth connections may be reduced to a distance that increases the likelihood that a wireless device must be in vehicle 202 in order to establish such a connection.
- the Bluetooth connection may be established merely to register wireless device 212 with monitoring system 201 , or to exchange other messages or data, such as to provide a hands-free operation for wireless device 212 using equipment in vehicle 202 .
- monitoring system 201 may also report to server 214 when Bluetooth connections have been established with wireless devices.
- the message from monitoring system 201 may include a list of any wireless devices detected in or near vehicle 202 using Bluetooth, RFID or other short-range communication technologies.
- Bluetooth if the Bluetooth identifier is unknown or associated with another users' wireless device, and the Bluetooth identifier for wireless device 212 is not reported by monitor 201 , then server 214 will know that the user's wireless device is likely not present in the vehicle. Accordingly, when wireless device 212 is in use and vehicle 202 is in motion, server 214 may not identify a potentially unsafe situation if wireless device 212 has not been currently linked to vehicle 202 using Bluetooth identifier.
- server 214 may identify a potentially unsafe condition if wireless device 212 is then used. Accordingly, Bluetooth or other short-range communication technologies may also be used to reduce or eliminate false detections of unsafe driving behavior.
- server 214 may detect wireless device usage in a moving vehicle without requiring or using data from an in-vehicle monitoring system.
- Cellular network may report wireless device activity to server 214 for a particular device 212 .
- the activity report may include, for example, a time of use and a location of use.
- the location may identify a specific cell site, such as cells 205 and 206 , that is or was in communication with wireless device 212 .
- the wireless activity report from network 204 to server 214 may be made at regular or irregular intervals or upon the occurrence of some event, such as handover from one cell to another.
- server 214 may identify a situation in which wireless device is being used while moving. If server 214 does not also have movement reports for vehicle 202 and/or monitoring system 201 , then it will be unclear if the user is driving his car while talking on device 212 . Accordingly, server 214 may only report a potentially unsafe situation to the user or a supervisor, but may not initiate feedback to vehicle 202 and may not direct network 204 to terminate the call.
- monitoring system may detect wireless device usage using on-board sensors.
- RF sensor 210 may detect when an RF device, such as wireless device 212 , is being used in or near vehicle 202 .
- RF sensor 210 may be configured to capture or detect RF transmissions in a frequency band used by wireless device 212 , such as messages in a cellular frequency band.
- RF sensor 210 may simply detect the presence of RF transmissions, and provide those messages or a notification of such transmissions to monitoring system 201 . Based upon the strength of the transmissions, RF sensor 210 and/or monitoring system 201 may determined that the transmissions are likely to have originated within or near vehicle 202 .
- RF sensor 210 and/or monitoring system 201 may be further capable of processing captured transmissions and to extract data from the transmissions, such as an origination or destination address or a message type.
- Monitoring system 201 may use message origination data to determine if the transmissions were sent by a known wireless device.
- monitoring system may include data for one or more wireless devices that are associated with vehicle 202 , such as identifier information for wireless device 212 . If monitoring system 201 determines that the origination or destination address of captured messages are associated with wireless device 212 , then monitoring system 201 may further determine that wireless device is being used. Additional message data, such as message type and the number of transmissions observed or captured by RF sensor 210 may provide further information to assist monitoring system 201 to evaluate if wireless device 212 is actually being used for communication or wireless device is merely registered with network 204 , but not in use.
- Monitoring system 201 is capable of determining when vehicle 202 is in motion, such as a change in GPS or other positioning location or a detection of velocity from the vehicle's speedometer via OBD 209 . If monitoring system 201 detects both motion of vehicle 202 and RF transmissions associated with wireless device 212 , then monitoring system 201 may determine that a driver is using wireless device 212 while driving vehicle 202 . As noted above, monitoring system 201 may provide mentoring feedback or warnings to the driver upon detection of a potentially unsafe driving condition. Monitoring system 201 may also send a message to server 214 upon detection of cell phone usage via sensor 210 . Server 214 may provide additional reports or notification to the user's supervisor regarding a potentially unsafe condition. Server 214 and/or monitoring system 201 may be further configured to command network 204 to terminate or prevent calls to wireless device 212 upon detection of potentially unsafe wireless device usage while driving.
- wireless device 212 may include a position locating system, such as a GPS location circuit, chip or component. Wireless device 212 may also be capable of determining its location using other methods, such as by using cellular network location data. Using its location capability, wireless device 212 may be further capable of detecting movement, such as when a geographical location changes over time or from one measurement to the next. Wireless device 212 may use such location-change information to calculate a speed or velocity. Wireless device 212 may be configured to notify network 204 and/or server 214 , or some other entity, when its speed or velocity exceeds a specific rate. For example, if the speed of wireless device 212 exceeds 10 MPH, device 212 may be programmed to notify server 214 or network 204 .
- a position locating system such as a GPS location circuit, chip or component.
- Wireless device 212 may also be capable of determining its location using other methods, such as by using cellular network location data. Using its location capability, wireless device 212 may be further capable of detecting movement, such as when a
- Server 214 may compare such location notification data with wireless communication activity reports from server 204 , for example, to determine if wireless device 212 is being used in a potentially unsafe manner. Server 214 may provide mentoring feedback, warnings or third party notifications, as discussed above, in such situations.
- Wireless device 212 is also aware of when it transmits or receives data on a voice or data call or when text message data is being sent or received. If wireless device 212 detects motion and is communicating with network 204 or another network, wireless device 212 may terminate the communication, provide mentoring feedback to the user, and/or provide reports or notifications to third party entities, such as a supervisor or parent. Wireless device 212 may be configured to automatically end communications when it ( 212 ) detects movement in excess of a preset minimum. Upon detection of the motion threshold, wireless device 212 may terminate any current communications and/or prevent any further communications.
- wireless network 204 may be configured to queue messages until communication is reestablished with wireless device 212 . For example, if server 214 , monitoring system 201 or device 212 instructs network 204 to terminate or block communications with wireless device 212 , network 204 may queue or store any text, email or other messages until notified that wireless device 212 has stopped moving. Network 204 may further queue or store notifications of voicemail and other services in order to minimize distraction to the user while driving. Upon detection or notification that wireless device 212 is no longer moving, network 204 may forward the stored email, text messages, and other data to wireless device 212 since the user does not appear to be still operating a vehicle.
- server 214 may be used to detect wireless device usage after the fact.
- Network 204 may provide wireless activity data at intervals after the wireless use has been completed. For example, network 204 may provide billing information to server 214 for past wireless activity. Sever 214 may use the past activity data obtained from the billing data to determine when a user's wireless device was in use. After determining when the wireless device was in use, server 214 may obtain stored vehicle movement data, such as from memory 221 . Server 214 then may compare the time of wireless device usage to vehicle movement records to determine if the user was using the wireless device at the same time that the user's vehicle was in motion. If it appears that such a situation occurred, server 214 may provide a report or other notification to the user, a supervisor or other authority.
- Monitoring system 201 and server 214 may collect vehicle operation data for use in evaluating and/or grading the performance of a driver.
- vehicle operation data for use in evaluating and/or grading the performance of a driver.
- monitoring system 201 and/or vehicle 202 may include a device that selectively prevents devices from connecting to a wireless network.
- a jammer that broadcasts noise or interference on cellular frequency bands, or a device that blocks or interferes with call set-up messages, may be used to prevent a wireless device from operating while a vehicle is in motion.
- Such a system may be installed in vehicle 202 under the control of monitoring system 201 so that, upon detection of vehicle motion, monitoring system 201 may command the jammer or interference circuit to prevent wireless device usage within the vehicle.
